Hello Arjuna,

A question on the Charge of the centaurs scenario: I am not sure it has ever been allocated a TT, but it was definitely discussed in several occasions in the forum and someone stated that the entry point of the reinforcements would have been reviewed. At present Axis reinforcements can enter the map in a very awkward location to say the least.

Is it too late for the first patch?

Cheers,

RedDevil

BTW:... if the search function of the forum was working I could probably quote the post referring to the re-working of this scenario.

RedDevil,
 
thanks for the reminder. I'll look at it tomorrow.

Dave,

I have revised the reinforcement option for this scenario to locate the Italian armor reinforcements out of the rough terrain, as you requested a few weeks back.

However the original scenario worked out fine (for me) once the armor got out of the rough and into the fray, so I didn't make any more noise about it. However, I will email you my updated COTC scenario with a revision summary and you can do with it as you wish.

Got to ask... Will old Saves work and more importantly for me.... Saves that had a CTD should be fixed and I don't have to start a fresh game to "fix" it with the patch?

Thanks for your efforts.

Deerslayer,
 
Hopefully yes, but I can't guarantee that. I'm still able to open up the CTD saved games here and they play through OK. However, they won't be fine in regard to the supply values ( stock levels of Bases ) that were not correct at game start. There is no way of rectifying that.

Yes please Richard. Can you email it to me? Thanks.

This is great news! Thanks guys.

I just surrendered yesterday evening when in the middle of day3 my tanks were still struggling to reach the dirty track 1Km SW of the entry point with fatigue in excess of 75%

I started again the game three times checking the reinforcements entry points but still no luck... I guess I'd better wait for the patch!

Keep up the excellent work!

Cheers,
